Soil as Infrastructure, Workshop with Edible Garden City
Saturday, 2 May 2026 · 10:00 - 11:30 AM
Food security has been a perennial concern in Singapore, which sees the nation-state importing more than 90% of its food and allocating only 1% of its land to agriculture. These challenges are intensified by disruptions to global supply chains due to climate-induced extreme weather. In response, Singapore Food Agency has implemented strategies to address national food security concerns, including the promotion of local urban agriculture. Edible Garden City, an urban farming social enterprise, has been a lead to expanding the country’s urban agricultural landscape. Having established over 280 edible gardens, EGC is committed to regenerative agriculture and soil-based food systems as foundational to cultivating food sovereignty and fostering community agrarian literacy.
Join us on Saturday, 2 May at Edible Garden City’s site in Queenstown to learn about the importance of local soil-based food systems with a lecture by EGC Co-Founder Bjorn Low, followed by a hands-on soil composting workshop with members of the EGC Queenstown community.
